Default Blobeye STI

As it has been a while since I've posted in the members gallery, I thought I'd get some pics up:

They're 18x9" wheels with 255/35/18 tyres, I agree they do look huge in the photos

I also reckon because the tyres are wide at 255mm, then the sidewalls are still quite high at 89mm (despite the low 35% figure), giving the illusion of a huge wheel/tyre combo.

My thoughts exactly but the overall tyre height measures up approx 5mm lower than the 235/40s and approx 9mm lower than the 245/40s I ran previously, it must be the square shoulder on these tyres lol

Yeah, they do have square shoulders! It all adds to the illusion.

Looks groovy though (pardon the tyre-tread-based pun).

Looking good Harry.

What you got going on under the hood? Some exciting clues from the outside!
